Abstract
A wound rotor brushless doubly-fed motor includes a stator and a rotor. The stator includes two sets of three-phase windings and the number of pole pairs is p1 and p2 respectively. The rotor includes a multi-phase wound winding and phase number m is satisfied with the relation m=(p1+p2)/mk, in which, when p1+p2 is odd, mk=1; when p1+p2 is even, mk=2. Rotor slots are evenly distributed along the circumference of the air gap and the number of the rotor slots Z′ is satisfied with the relation Z′=n(p1+p2), in which n is a positive integer. Rotor winding coils are multi-turn structure, coil number of each phase winding is nmk and each coil has the same span, but turn ratios among the coils are different. When the phase winding coils number ≦nmk, all coils within the phase winding are automatically connected in short after being connected in series. The advantage of this invention is that the winding coil span can be changed flexibly and number of turns of each coil may be different so as to weaken high-order harmonics to the maximum extent.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
1. Field of the Invention
The invention relates to an AC brushless doubly-fed motor designed in accordance with slot harmonic magnetomotive force (MMF) of rotor windings. It belongs to the field of motor technology.
2. Description of the Related Art
AC brushless doubly-fed motors are applicable to frequency-conversion speed regulation systems, with reliable operation and low capacity of frequency converter. The motor stators are normally equipped with two sets of windings with pole pair number of p<sub>1 </sub>and p<sub>2</sub>, respectively. When the stator winding p<sub>1 </sub>connects to a power grid power supply, a rotating magnetic field is created with pole pair number of p<sub>1 </sub>Except p<sub>1 </sub>pairs of pole magnetic fields, p<sub>2 </sub>pairs of pole magnetic fields are also created by induced current in the rotor. In terms of the rotor, these two types of magnetic fields rotate in an opposite direction. If a variable-frequency power supply (VFPS) is connected with the stator winding p<sub>2</sub>, the rotational speed of the motor can be changed by means of changing the frequency of the VFPS.
Rotor plays a crucial role in brushless doubly-fed variable-frequency speed regulation motors. Conventional rotors mainly include reluctance rotors and cage rotors. Since the iron core of the reluctance rotor must be made into a salient structure and the windings of the cage rotor must be made into a concentric type short-circuited winding, the two rotors can only be used with specific number of poles. In addition, compare with conventional AC motor rotors, the above two rotors have a relatively larger volume and poor performance index.
AC brushless doubly-fed motors can also be used as electric generators, and for either wind or hydraulic power generation, they must be used under variable-speed constant-frequency power output conditions.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
In view of the above-described problems, it is one objective of the invention to provide an AC brushless doubly-fed motor designed with a motor rotor winding in accordance with the principle that slot harmonics appear together with fundamental harmonics in winding MMF and opposite rotational direction.
To achieve the above objective, in accordance with one embodiment of the invention, there provided is an AC brushless doubly-fed motor comprising a stator <b>1</b> and a rotor <b>6</b>, wherein the stator <b>1</b> comprises two sets of three-phase windings <b>3</b> and the number of pole pairs thereof is p<sub>1 </sub>and p<sub>2</sub>, respectively, the rotor <b>6</b> comprises a multi-phase wound winding <b>4</b> and phase number m is defined as m=(p<sub>1</sub>+p<sub>2</sub>)/m<sub>k</sub>, wherein, when p<sub>1</sub>+p<sub>2 </sub>is odd, m<sub>k</sub>=1; when p<sub>1</sub>+p<sub>2 </sub>is even, m<sub>k</sub>=2; rotor slots <b>5</b> are evenly distributed along the circumference of an air gap <b>2</b> and the number of the rotor slots Z′ is defined as Z′=n(p<sub>1</sub>+p<sub>2</sub>), wherein n is a positive integer; rotor winding coils are a multi-turn structure, the coil number of each phase winding coil is nm<sub>k </sub>and each coil has the same span, but turn ratios among the coils are different; and when phase winding coil number is ≦nm<sub>k</sub>, all coils within the phase winding will be automatically connected in short after being connected in series.
The motor rotor phase windings have the same number of coils and each coil has the same span. When the number of phase winding coils is <nm<sub>k</sub>, all coils within the phase winding will be automatically connected in short after being connected in series.
The motor rotor phase winding comprises a backing coil with coil number <nm<sub>k </sub>and each coil has the same span. All coils adjacent to the slot number within the phase winding will be automatically connected in short after being connected in turn in series.
Sectional area of the motor rotor slot <b>5</b> is designed in accordance with equal conductor slot fill factor. When unequal turn coils or equal turn coils are used with coil number <nm<sub>k</sub>, the rotor <b>6</b> will be an uneven slot form with varied sectional area.
The invention is based on winding slot harmonic MMF theory of AC motors. It should be noted that slot harmonic herein refers to slot harmonic MMF, created when an electrical current passes through the rotor winding. It is different from the harmonic formed by affecting air gap flux-density distribution by reluctance brushless doubly-fed motor rotor based on magnetic resistance change along the circumference of the rotor core. The principle of this invention is further explained below.
As to an actual AC motor, a winding coil is normally embedded in an iron-core groove. In this way, the winding coil conductor is not continuously distributed along the iron-core circumference according to ideal sine regulations. For a winding coil with symmetrical phase m arranged based on pole pair p<sub>1 </sub>in accordance with AC motor winding theory, except the fundamental harmonic MMF with pole pair p<sub>1</sub>, the slot harmonic MMF will also be created with v=Z/p<sub>1</sub>±1, i.e. pole pair number p<sub>2</sub>=Z±p<sub>1</sub>.
This type of slot harmonic MMF has the following two characteristics:
1) Winding coefficient of the slot harmonic MMF is equal to that of the fundamental harmonic MMF.
The above statement is easy to be proved. Take integral slot winding as a example, as to with harmonics, normal winding coefficient is generally represented as k<sub>dyv</sub>=k<sub>dv</sub>k<sub>yv</sub>, wherein

We can obtain that k<sub>dyv</sub>=k<sub>d1</sub>k<sub>y1</sub>=k<sub>dy1</sub>, in which k<sub>dy1 </sub>is the winding coefficient of corresponding fundamental harmonics. This formula indicates that the winding coefficient of the slot harmonic MMF is equal to that of the fundamental harmonic MMF.
2) The rotational direction of low-order slot harmonic MMF is opposite to that of the fundamental harmonic MMF.
Slot harmonics generally appear in pairs. For example, in first-order slot harmonic v=2mq±1, as pole pair number of the slot harmonic p<sub>2</sub>=Z−p<sub>1 </sub>in corresponding times v=2mq−1 is relatively less than pole pair number p<sub>2</sub>=Z+p<sub>1 </sub>in corresponding times v=2mq+1, therefore it is called the low-order slot harmonic. Next, we will take a three-phase symmetrical integral slot winding as an example to analyze rotational direction of its MMF.
As to harmonic MMF of a three-phase symmetrical winding, the harmonic MMF of each phase winding is as follows:

In the same way, we can prove that the rotational direction of the slot harmonic MMF with pole pair number p<sub>2</sub>=Z+p<sub>1 </sub>is the same as that of the fundamental harmonic MMF with pole pair number p<sub>1</sub>.
The aforementioned two characteristics of the slot harmonic theory serve as the basis for rotor winding structure design of the invention.
According to the working principle of the brushless doubly-fed motor, the rotor winding is required to simultaneously create a rotating MMF with two sets of pole pair numbers p<sub>1 </sub>and p<sub>2</sub>, and the rotational direction of two types of MMF is opposite. On the basis of such requirements, the pole pair number p<sub>1 </sub>of the required power winding has to be firstly confirmed, then control the pole pair number p<sub>2 </sub>according to the selection, and finally select rotor slot number Z that meets the relation p<sub>2</sub>=Z−p<sub>1 </sub>based on the formula P<sub>2</sub>=Z−p<sub>1</sub>, i.e. meet symmetrical condition of rotor winding. As a result, it is possible for the rotor winding to meet symmetrical condition of both pole pair numbers p<sub>1 </sub>and p<sub>2</sub>, and simultaneously create a rotating MMF with opposite rotational direction. By now, the rotor winding phase number m=Z/m<sub>k</sub>=(p<sub>1</sub>+p<sub>2</sub>)/m<sub>k </sub>(when Z is odd, m<sub>k</sub>=1; when Z is even, m<sub>k</sub>=2) and each phase winding coil number is m<sub>k</sub>.
According to the above formula p<sub>1</sub>=Z−p<sub>2</sub>, it is not difficult to know that current pole pair number p<sub>1 </sub>and p<sub>2 </sub>are slot harmonics with one another. According to another principle that winding coefficient of the slot harmonic is equal to that of the fundamental harmonics, for rotor windings used for brushless doubly-fed motors, we only need to design a high winding coefficient depending on pole pair number p<sub>1</sub>, then the high winding coefficient will be automatically obtained for another pole pair number p<sub>2</sub>.
Although we can obtain the required rotor winding of slot harmonics in accordance with the above description, in MMF created by such rotor windings, apart from the slot harmonic with usable pole pair number p<sub>1 </sub>and p<sub>2</sub>, higher order slot harmonics also exist with frequency V=2 mkq±1 (k=1, 2, 3, . . . positive integer). The amplitude of such slot harmonics, especially lower order slot harmonics, will be much greater than slot harmonic MMF with pole pair number p<sub>1 </sub>and p<sub>2 </sub>Consequently, the performance of brushless doubly-fed motors will be severely affected. It is necessary to take every measure to weaken high-order slot harmonic to minimize the impact.
According to the Principle of Electric Machinery, it is an effective measure to weaken high-order slot harmonics by means of increasing rotor slots to enlarge rotor winding distribution effects. In order to ensure MMF symmetry of useful pole pair number p<sub>1 </sub>and p<sub>2</sub>, rotor slot number must be increased based on integral multiple of Z=p<sub>1</sub>+P<sub>2</sub>, i.e. new rotor slot number Z′ should meet the relation Z′=nZ=n(p<sub>1</sub>+p<sub>2</sub>)(n=1, 2, 3, . . . positive integer), in which rotor winding phase m=Z/m<sub>k </sub>but coil number of each phase is nm<sub>k</sub>. From above analysis, it is not difficult to conclude that all coils adjacent to all slot numbers within the phase winding shall be automatically connected in short after being connected in turn in series.
However, on the other hand, this kind of distribution effects will also inevitably weaken first-order useful slot harmonics. In order to ensure that brushless doubly-fed motors still have excellent performance, it is essential to take measures to make the first-order slot harmonics MMF amplitude produced by the rotor winding as large as possible while the other high-order harmonics MMF amplitude as small as possible.
It should be noted that if all rotor slots are still evenly distributed along the rotor circumference after slot number has been increased when coil span is the same, there always have some induced electromotive force produced by some coils in each rotor winding to be offset with one another. Therefore some part of the coils must be removed so as to ensure the rotor winding to create stronger first-order slot harmonic MMF. We should follow the principle (i.e. maintain maximum MMF amplitude with pole pair number p<sub>1 </sub>and p<sub>2 </sub>while maintain low content of the other high-order harmonics) and refer to winding MMF harmonic analysis results to decide which part of coils need to be removed.
A distinctive characteristic of the invention is to use multi-turn coils to form wound rotor windings. In this way, winding coil span can be changed flexibly and each coil may have different number of turns so as to weaken high-order harmonics to the maximum extent.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE EMBODIMENTS
The invention is explained in further detail below with the aid of embodiments.
A brushless doubly-fed motor rotor with slot harmonics has pole pair number of power winding p<sub>1</sub>=4 and control winding p<sub>2</sub>=2. Select rotor slot number Z=p<sub>1</sub>+p<sub>2</sub>=6 according to the relation Z=p<sub>1</sub>+p<sub>2 </sub>and knows that rotor winding phase number m=Z/m<sub>k</sub>=6/2=3 according to the relation m=Z/m<sub>k</sub>=(p<sub>1</sub>+p<sub>2</sub>)/m<sub>k </sub>(when Z is odd, m<sub>k</sub>=1; when Z is even, m<sub>k</sub>=2).
As to rotor winding of Z=6, p<sub>1</sub>=4, p<sub>2</sub>=2, m=3, if a specific connection mode is required, a slot number diagram can be drawn first as shown in <figref idref="DRAWINGS">FIG. 1</figref><i>a</i>) so as to determine slot number distribution of each phase as shown in <figref idref="DRAWINGS">FIG. 1</figref><i>b</i>). For three-phase windings when p<sub>1</sub>=4, if coil span y=1, phase winding distribution coefficient is 1. Please refer to <figref idref="DRAWINGS">FIG. 2</figref> for conditions when p<sub>2</sub>=2. <figref idref="DRAWINGS">FIG. 2</figref><i>a</i>) is a slot number phase diagram when p<sub>2</sub>=2 and <figref idref="DRAWINGS">FIG. 2</figref><i>b</i>) is a phase re-distribution diagram when p<sub>2</sub>=2 based on three-phase slot number confirmed when p<sub>2</sub>=4. It can be seen that it is also a three-phase windings when p<sub>2</sub>=2 and phase winding distribution coefficient is also 1. This conforms to aforementioned slot harmonic theory.
Compare <figref idref="DRAWINGS">FIG. 1</figref><i>b</i>) with <figref idref="DRAWINGS">FIG. 2</figref><i>b</i>), we can see that phase sequence of A, B, C three-phase slot number distribution when p<sub>1</sub>=4 and when p<sub>2</sub>=2 is just opposite. This conforms to aforementioned working principle of the brushless doubly-fed motor rotor.
<figref idref="DRAWINGS">FIG. 3</figref> shows specific connection method of a three-phase winding when Z=6, p<sub>1</sub>=4 and p<sub>2</sub>=2.
However, as noted earlier, if rotor windings are directly obtained according to the slot harmonic, as rotor slot number is too little, more high-order harmonics would exist to lead motor to produce high vibration and loud noise. It will be difficult in practical application. In order to solve such problem, more rotor slot numbers have to be used. According to the relation: Z′=nZ=n(p<sub>1</sub>+p<sub>2</sub>), if n=9, the new rotor slot number Z′=nZ=54 and phase number of rotor winding is still m=Z/m<sub>k</sub>=3, but coil number of each phase will be nm<sub>k</sub>=9×2.
Increasing rotor slot number is an effective way to weaken high-order harmonics in rotor winding MMF, but required fundamental harmonics will also be inevitably weakened. <figref idref="DRAWINGS">FIGS. 4 and 5</figref> show a three-phase coil slot number phase distribution when rotor slot number Z=54 and pole pair number p<sub>2</sub>=2 and p<sub>1</sub>=4. It can be seen that rotor winding phase belt width is 120° (electrical angle) to p<sub>2</sub>=2 and 240° to p<sub>1</sub>=4. Winding distribution coefficient decreases considerably compare with Z=6 before slot number is increased. In order to make an improvement, it can be considered to remove some slot numbers of phase belt margin. For example, remove slot numbers in dotted box as shown in <figref idref="DRAWINGS">FIGS. 4 and 5</figref>, then phase belt width becomes 67° (electrical angle) to p<sub>2</sub>=2 and 133° to p<sub>1</sub>=4. Winding distribution coefficient has been largely increased. If suitable coil span is selected, high-order harmonics will also be decreased dramatically. Specific connection method for new winding coils is that all coils adjacent to the slot number within each phase winding will be automatically connected in short after being connected in turn in series as shown in <figref idref="DRAWINGS">FIG. 6</figref>.
The rotor winding shown in <figref idref="DRAWINGS">FIG. 6</figref> has a higher winding coefficient and lower high-order harmonic content. But the conductor has low utilization ratio as more slot numbers are removed. In order to improve conductor utilization ratio and further reduce winding MMF harmonic content, unequal turn coils may be taken into account since winding coils in this invention are multi-turn structure. <figref idref="DRAWINGS">FIG. 7</figref> shows a connection method of the rotor winding with unequal turn coils adopted and the marked slot number represents relative turn ratio.
Removing some coils or using unequal turn coils may cause unequal rotor slot fill factor. In order to solve such problem, rotor slot can be designed with varied sectional area according to equal slot fill factor.
Another characteristic of wound rotor windings according to the invention is that coils can be connected flexibly based on actual conditions. <figref idref="DRAWINGS">FIG. 8</figref> shows a rotor winding connection method with a backing coil when Z=54, p<sub>1</sub>/p<sub>2</sub>=4/2 and y=7 with lower harmonic content and a higher winding coefficient, i.e. 0.9092 when p<sub>1</sub>=4 and winding coefficient is 0.4546 when p<sub>2</sub>=2.
